There are a few very good chocolates brands still in existence.
We visited Chocolates Factory in Philip Islands in Australia that keeps the chocolate nostalgia of old time as real.
It is the Valentine gift.
Panny's Chocolate Factory is worth a visit of a lifetime.
There are so many American sounding words wrapped round in chocolates 
Ethical
Premium
Sustainable
Organic
Consumer focussed
Even Endangered Species are used in Labelling 
Kandos Chocolates in Kandy was a delicacy of the past.
So many brands makes one wonder why there so many.
This Information is Collected from a YouTube presentation.YouTube is not always bad.
Chocolates epitomizes the American capitalistic pushover that marketing hype is used to hoodwink the consumer.
Many brands changed hand and now Korean and Chinese brands are ruling the market in the game of cost cutting.
The kids are cheated by default with attractive wrapping. 
It is high time that cost of the Labelling is Reduced and the quality of chocolates is maintained.
African children are not treated as slaves in this game of chocolates and prime land is not sacrificed for cocoa growing.
Last thing I did before leaving Ceylon was to find some ripe Cocoa seeds and give to a guy to grow. I use cocoa plant to propagate orchids. It is a rainforest plant that needs lot of water for sustainance.
It is the Belgian Kings in Brussels who exploited the Africans and made chocolate empires. To this day, I refuse to taste Belgian chocolate brands.
Even Mr.Bean had made comments on chocolates.
In the 1980s I used to bring loads of Swiss Chocolates on my holidays.
Having come to Australia, I rarely taste chocolate.
Like I stopped drinking alcohol due to high rate of taxes, I avoid chocolates due to high content of sugar and hydrogenated vegetable oil.
I go for soya or TOFU instead which is healthierm

Metal, plastic fragments and stones in your bar
It us called a bean to a bar and that transfomation makes, all the capitalistic tricks which China and Korea are practising today.
This is a funny world.
